Learn moreNo separate local income tax
Geneva levies no separate local income tax of its own -- New York limits that local add-on specifically to New York City and Yonkers. The state's own graduated income tax (3.9%-10.9% for 2026) still applies.
Ontario County's effective property tax rate carries a real, disclosed spread
Ontario County's effective property tax rate is cited across a real spread of 1.62%-2.41% depending on source and methodology, with this record using 2.05% (median annual bill approximately $4,565) as its primary figure.
A combined sales tax rate of 7.5%
Ontario County's minimum combined sales tax rate runs 7.5% (4% state + 3.5% county).
